Jane Foster.

I just thought she was cute and I really like sciencey-ladies in media, so she won me over pretty quick in Thor. Felt like a majority of fandom hated her though so it was always hard to find any positive spaces about her. :/ And even now she still gets shit and people comparing her and Valkyrie together to make her seem even more terrible(as if the same people wouldn't unreservedly hate Valkyrie if she ever got paired off with Thor, ha).

Relena from Gundam Wing.

Granted it's been years since I watched the show but I remember enjoying her character and her and Hero's weird as fuck dynamic.

Bella Talbot from SPN.

I love morally grey Catwoman-type ladies as well and she fit the bill for this perfectly for me. I loved her and thought she was great, her death made sense even if it was sad and I've always wanted the show to bring her back as a demon. Fandom however hated her 'because she made the boys look stupid', nevermind the numerous characters that have done this during the course of the show.

I liked Bella too and, though I don't think they will, it'd be cool if the show brought her back as a demon.

It'd be neat but if they haven't done it by now they probably never will. Which is a shame, I'd love to see demon-Bela snark at them again.

Bela has grown on me. I really like her now. I used to hate her, but each time I rewatch my opinion of her grows.

Ah see that's neat, if I dislike a character it pretty much never gets better, only worse. It can make watching something with a character I dislike in it impossible as a result.

I envy you.

I think partially it is because female anti-heroes are so few and far between, and partially because in hindsight, I'm able to separate her from shipping. Really don't like her with Dean, and at the time the season first aired and the few seasons after, all the Bela love was coming from shippers. I'm not even in the fandom anymore, which makes it easier to develop my own opinions.

I maaaaaay have been one of those Bela/Dean shippers. :P

But I also primarily loved her on her own merits too, she was smart and resourceful and I liked that.

But it's cool that it's not your jam, like what you like and all. It was just kind of frustrating dealing with people hating her for shit that other characters did as well yanno? Not that you were, just in general in the fandom.

I wouldn't have guessed there was hate for Jane Foster. I thought she was all right; tbh I was pretty annoyed by the dreaded off-screen breakup (which I hate in general) in Thor: Ragnarok and her absence from the movie (though I understand the reasons why that happened).

I got tired of the hate for Relena too. She gets a lot of shit yet does a lot, and people forget she's only 15-16.

Edit: holy crap I can't spell

Ah Maybe I had trouble finding the Thor(the movie, not the character) fans who didn't hate her but all I saw was dislike to outright hatred and it got really old really fast.

She was cute, no need to get all weird about it because you want the brothers to bone.

Oh man realizing that all the characters in GW were 15-16 puts all their dumbass choices into complete perspective, like holy crap. I was never in the fandom for it at the time, but I found out later that pretty much everyone hated her and I was like 'oh, okay'.
